Hello Pat...true I'm a newcomer to the board, and as such still sorting out hostile and friendly territory and subjects. If I've been here before, i've completely blocked it out. I really did happen upon DB's blog merely by chance, and now can't help checking in to see what a few other people are thinking about. At initial glance, it seems that you all represent a mixture of reasonable conservatives and likeable liberals...,today however people seem a little owly. I find the exchanges amusing, although sometimes surprised by the subjects that escalate into heated raillery. I wonder, do we have to think about sex, a woman's right to choose, and trollops in every election?? As long as we are all healthy and happily having some....who cares?

Palin is onboard with McCain for one reason that I can think of....OIL!!
